TRUMP AND MUSLIM LEADERS REACH AGREEMENT TO STOP TERROR FINANCING|川普會穆斯林元首 促聯手抗恐怖主義

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation held its 14th Summit which takes place once every three years. Generally known as the Islamic Summit, this year it is being called the Arab Islamic American Summit and is held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the Saudi Arabian monarch is currently Secretary General of the OIC. U.S. President Donald Trump was invited to address the summit. The leaders of 55 Muslim countries gathered for the summit, but Iran was excluded, due to Saudi Arabia's severance of diplomatic relations with that country. A few hours before his remarks, Trump and the leaders of six Persian Gulf states reached an agreement on terror financing, including the prosecution of individuals who continue sending money to militants. The MOU with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates - includes the creation of a center in Riyadh to fight extremism. In his speech, Trump placed the onus of the fight against terrorism on Muslim countries. ==DONALD TRUMP U.S. PRESIDENT== The deadliest toll has been exacted on the innocent people of Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern nations. They have borne the brunt of the killings and the worst of the destruction in this wave of fanatical violence. Arab leaders acknowledged this and also pointed out that terrorism was not part of Islam. ==KING ABDULLAH JORDAN == Terrorist groups do not inhabit the fringes on Islam. They are altogether outside of Islam. They are khawarij, outlaws of Islam. Trump characterized the Palestine's Hamas as a terrorist organization, which was rejected by Palestine in a phone interview. ==FAWZI BARHOUM HAMAS SPOKESMAN == Terrorism is the terrorism of the Israeli occupation that commits massacres and daily crimes, in addition to their crime against humanity through their siege on the Gaza Strip and their mass murder in the West Bank and Jerusalem. Egyptian President El-Sisi also pointed out that they were in fact already engaged in fighting terrorism on a daily basis. ==ABDEL FATTAH EL-SISI EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT== You all understand that Egypt daily faces a lesson in war against terrorist organization in the West of Sinai, in which we continue to win and make advances. Saudi King Salman, speaking before the summit praised Trump for making Saudi Arabia his first stop on his first extensive overseas visit which will include Israel and the Vatican.
